Yes, you can change the other enum's dataitems dynamically.

Try using the [Strings] property to achieve what you want...

Happy season ahead!

You CANNOT change the string value of enums during runtime.

You CAN change the string values of rings during runtime.  If you want to dynamically change the values of a pulldown, you must use a ring control, not an enum.

On a second read it actually sounds like the user is trying to change the value displayed in the second enum based on the value of the first enum. IF that's the case, you just need to write the value using a local variable of the second enum (or the "Value" property node).

Hi jabili,

Sorry for misleading you...

Hi Mathew,

Thanks for correcting my mistake!

But, I thnk, smercurio_fc has hit the bull's eye.

Remember that enums are for the programmer to make code more readable.  So changing an enum at runtime makes little sense. Enums just map an integer list to a text name. Text boxes and string arrays are better suited for updating a user interface list although enums are nice to use on the interface they are not dynamic at runtime.

Thank u for responding . i have duobt i.e  the Ring controller support the Labview Pda module ? i want more information regarding which functions are support the  Labview Pda module?

Jabili, all the information for PDA and Touch Panel can be found in the LabVIEW Help. Navigate to PDA Module or Touch Panel Moduel >> Creating Touch Panel VIs >> Supported Methods or Supported Properties, and navigate to PDA Module or Touch Panel Moduel >> Creating Touch Panel VIs >> Designing PDA and Touch Panel UI >> Controls and Indicators >> Unsupported Controls and Indicators. You can also select each particular control or indicator to see what functionality is supported by each.
